About Caring Transitions Chicago Northwest Suburbs

Thank you for
considering Caring Transitions to help you get to the next chapter of your life.
Whether you’re looking to downsize or you’re faced with clearing the estate of
a loved one, getting through this transition can be a challenge, but you don’t
have to do it alone.

I’m Mary Beth Radeck,
owner of Caring Transitions Chicago Northwest Suburbs. Moving and downsizing to
clear the way for an enjoyable life is a passion for me. I helped my mom
downsize twice – eventually liquidating her estate – and, over the course of
four years, reduced my own family’s possessions by 75 percent. We now live in
734 square feet! The freedom you can experience when your stuff or home
maintenance isn’t holding you back is stunning.

Caring Transitions
enables me to truly serve as a “transition advocate”, looking after things so
you can focus on what matters--time with family. Our concierge approach means
you can bring us in to help with one facet of the transition or to handle the entire
process; from floor plans to sorting to unpacking everything just like it was
in your last home. By handling the details, we hope to reduce stress for others
during a move, eventually leaving a lasting impact on this community.

Re-purposing items
and keeping them from the landfill has always been important to me. Over the
last few years I have pursued a degree in Sustainability Studies at Roosevelt
University where recycling is a way of life. Enlisted to speak publicly in
Schaumburg about sustainable practices for homeowners, I was also honored to
write Roosevelt’s Sustainability web site and co-author the University’s
Strategic Sustainability Plan.

In addition to my
personal experience, I am also a Certified Relocation and Transitions
Specialist, have earned a Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification
and have more than 30 years managing projects, selecting the best service
suppliers, and working with them and a team to deliver on time and within budget.

Caring Transitions
Chicago Northwest Suburbs serves the suburbs between Elmhurst and Schaumburg as
well as the surrounding communities. I was born in Elmhurst, grew up in Wood
Dale and have lived in the area for most of my life. I’m pleased to own this
business with the support of my husband, Gerry McAvoy, my love and light.
